Tho Old Light and brightness Conc from
Her Eyes-Manning Logan.
To those who knew her well when her
face WIS full of bright joy and hope, Mrs.
Logan is now another woman. There
were times in years past when Mrs. Logan
was pressed with trouble, when her hus-
band was i'll and when the days were
dark-so dark hat she hardly knew which
wa to turn for relief. But in the darkest
day and hour there was always the sun
light of hope and faith shining in her fine
eyes and cheerful smile. Now her wan
face has II gray tone in the suffering,
hopeless expression, and the old light end
brightness arc gone from her eycs. Her
voice, too, has changed. 1t has lost all
that was joyous and happy, and to see her
now, the old charm of her hearty, ringing
laugh comes back to one as no part of
Mrs. Logan, but as something far off and
an echo Of quite another life. 1t used to
be said by their intimate friends that Gen.
Logan would be more Mt n loss ii Mrs.
Logan died first, hat he could not spare
her so well, and that she would be the
stronger If left alone. Mrs. Logan was
strong and self reliant while her husband
lived. Her life was so much his life, or
rather his life was everything to her. She
must. in the years to go on, whether she

onciled to her loss. But Mrs. Logan il
too much changed to ever be the same
woman again. 1t is not that she is COM
planning, but 1t Is the settled ucquiescenco
to n blow, stunning in its suddenness, and
heavy and overpowering in its weight of
sorrow. Nc house could be moro changed
than the Logan house, given over 10 the
sad atmosphere rs it is now and TO the ST.
lent routine of daily life.
Manning Logan has surprised every
body by his unlocked for strength and
manly bearing, and the thoughtful de
votion to his mother, unheeding his own
deep sorrow to comfort her. He had, as
an only, much INDUCED son, been rather
dependent on his parents, with boyish,
unsettled opinions. But he seemed ut
once TO grow old in years, dignity and
Judgment, and to realize that so far as
possible he must now be the strong man
and the stay of his mother. He Is only
%, but he seems older, much older, since
his fathers death. He has withdrawn
from the business firm here of which III
was n member, and l hear is TO go into
business at Youngstown, O., where Miss
Edith Andrews, the lady to whom he is
engaged, resides They are to be mar
ried early in the spring.
1t has been his desire, and was before
MS iulncr y ucstH, 10 usSuHlc inc name OF
John A.. Logan, .Jr., and he is often called
by that name. Blu in his family he
bears the name Of Manning, and was
named for an uncle of his father. His re-
semblunce to his father is becoming more
and more striking rs he grows older. His
hair is straight, jet black and glossy rs
the generals was, and his wavy black
mustachc is quite the same. His feat
ures are more dclicately cut, like Mrs.
Logan's, but the contour of his head md
his height of figure are like Gen. Logan,
with the natural difference of age. There
is at this time hardly so handsome II young
man in Washington as Manning Logan,
or, rs he is likely to be known in the near
future, John A. Logan, Jr.-Washington
